Welcome!

You have reached the CCN Inventory Tool Detailed Insights Report.

Congratulations! This geography has available data.

Potential data availability within the Inventory Tool ranges from Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III Carbon stock estimates.

  • Tier I: Global sediment carbon stock estimates.

  • Tier II: Country- or territory-level sediment carbon stock estimates.

  • Tier III: Modeled country- or territory-level sediment carbon stock estimates.

This document includes country-specific insights and more detailed analysis, including carbon stocks, emissions factors, and ecosystem wetland area for mangrove, marsh, and seagrass habitats. This report details information for the selected geography, Australia.

Explore the rest of the dashboard for more exciting visualizations, map features and data.

If you have any questions or data you would like to add to the Coastal Carbon Network, please reach out to us at .

This map represents the area of Australia and the locations of both soil cores and vegetation samples included in the Coastal Carbon Atlas.

Total Carbon Stock Estimates

Total Carbon stock estimates were calculated for each geography in total, and for mangrove, tidal marsh, and seagrass habitats, when available.

We estimate that Australia contains a mean estimate of 207000000 megagrams per hectare sediment carbon stock.

We estimate that Australia contains between 253200000 to 160900000 megagrams per hectare sediment carbon to a depth of 1 m, with a mean estimate of 207000000 megagrams per hectare.

Total Geography Level Carbon Stocks
Country Territory Total Stocks Upper CI Lower CI
Australia Australia 207000000 160900000 253200000
Country Territory Habitat Total Stock Lower CI Upper CI Standard Error
Australia Australia Mangrove 172800000 137800000 207900000 18230000

This total estimate includes total mangrove soil carbon stocks, with a mean estimate of 172800000 megagrams per hectare soil carbon to a depth of 1 meter.

Country Territory Habitat Total Stock Lower CI Upper CI Standard Error
Australia Australia Marsh 34160000 23010000 45310000 5807000

This total estimate also includes total tidal marsh carbon stocks, with a mean estimate of 34160000 megagrams per hectare soil carbon to a depth of 1 meter.

Territory Habitat Total Stock
Australia Seagrass 3786000000

This estimate also includes seagrass soil carbon stocks for Australia which we estimate to have a mean of 3786000000 megagrams per hectare sediment carbon stock.

Wetland Areas and Activities

We estimate mangrove area in Australia to be 840800 to 1110000 hectares, with a mean estimate of 957500 hectares according to Global Mangrove Watch, Bunting et al. (2018).

We estimate tidal marsh area in Australia to be 137900 to 257300 hectares, with a mean estimate of 227600 according to Worthington et al. (2024).

We estimate seagrass area to be Australia to be a mean of 8301000 hectares, according to Len J. McKenzie et al. (2020), which aggregates global seagrass data from a number of sources.

Calculated Stocks and Emissions Factors

This section of the report details whether data is available to estimate Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III value estimates for tidal marsh, mangrove, and seagrass ecosystems in Australia.

If data for the selected country is available in the Coastal Carbon Atlas, we have applied a Tier II emission factor based on a simple average of country specific data queried from the Atlas.

Within the Coastal Carbon Atlas, data from the selected geography, Australia, includes soil samples, but does not yet include vegetation samples.

Soil core data from Australia included in the Coastal Carbon Atlas consists of 181 soil profiles from 135 sites. This data comes from 4 distinct habitat type(s).

In the case that there is not yet any country specific information in the Coastal Carbon Atlas, we instead applied IPCC Tier I estimate, which are estimated global values. IPCC Global estimates for mangrove, marsh, and seagrass ecosystems are listed below.

The table titled “Availiability of Territory-Level Data” in this section also details whether the calculated Tier II, or territory-level sediment carbon stock value is significantly different from the estimated global values. This is observed in the “Reporting Insight” column, and can be helpful in observing when a habitat has a higher or lower estimated sediment carbon stock value than the IPCC Global estimates.

IPCC Global Value Estimates (Mg per hectare)
Habitat Mean Lower_CI Upper_CI
mangrove 386 351 424
marsh 255 254 297
seagrass 108 84 139

Data Availiability by Tier - Reporting Insight

Availiability of Territory-Level Data
Country Territory Habitat Tier Reporting Insight
Australia Australia mangrove Territory-Level Territory-level average is significantly less than global value
Australia Australia marsh Territory-Level Territory-level average is significantly less than global value
Australia Australia seagrass Territory-Level Territory-level average is significantly greater than global value

Tier I Carbon Stocks - Global Estimates

This section includes estimated global sediment carbon stocks included for Australia. In the case that any habitats; mangrove, tidal marsh, or seagrass do not have availiable territory-level estimates, please refer to Table 2: IPCC Tier I Value Estimates for applicable global values.

Tier II: Territory Level Carbon Stocks

This table includes country or territory level sediment carbon stock estimates for Australia. Estimates in this table were derived from available soil core data queried from the Coastal Carbon Atlas.

A selected country may have available territory-level values for one or multiple habitats, this is dependent on core data accessible through the Coastal Carbon Atlas. If a territory has habitat area, but that respective habitat type does not have an associated territory-level stock estimate, there is insufficient core data in the Coastal Carbon Atlas to estimate sediment carbon stock. At the time of analysis, referencing Version 1.5.0 of the Coastal Carbon Atlas and Data Library, Australia is represented by a total of 181 cores across 4 distinct habitat(s).

Tier II: Territory-Level Carbon Stock Estimates
Country Territory Habitat Mean Stock (MgHa) Lower CI Upper CI Standard Error
Australia Australia mangrove 181 153 208 14.0
Australia Australia marsh 150 119 181 15.7
Australia Australia seagrass 456 203 709 129.0

Tier III Carbon Stocks

Tier III: modeled sediment carbon stocks were estimated, when available, using remote sensing data from Maxwell et al 2021 and Sanderman et al 2018. The table below details whether estimated values are available for any habitat in Australia, and details any overlap with associated global or territory-level estimates.

If there are no modeled estimates associated with the selected geography and specific habitat of interest, please refer to above tables of global and territory-level sediment carbon stocks.

Tier III: Modeled Carbon Stock Estimates
Country Territory Habitat Mean Stock (MgHa) Lower CI Upper CI
Australia Australia mangrove 312 285 339
Australia Australia marsh 256 231 281

In the selected geography, modeled estimated stock MgHa values for marsh habitats are, greater than territory-level values estimated from Coastal Carbon Atlas Data. In this case, the modeled Remote-sensing esimate is significantly greater than country-specific average. Additionally, estimated modeled stock values derived from remote sensing are greater than estimates global IPCC values. In this case, the modeled Remote-sensing esimate overlaps Tier I global estimates.

In mangrove habitats, modeled estimated stock MgHa values are, greater than territory-level values estimated from Coastal Carbon Atlas Data. In this case, the modeled Remote-sensing esimate is significantly greater than country-specific average. Additionally, estimated modeled stock values derived from remote sensing are less than estimates global IPCC values. In this case, the modeled Remote-sensing esimate is significantly less than Tier I global estimates.
